This is one of Suzuki's best layouts ever. Nice and clean....

One of my favorite threads, hopefully one day I get to build up a RM250.

I bought the Buddy Antunez RM250 in the top picture the day after he won his championship on it just the way it was. It was still muddy from the night before. All they wanted back was the shortened subframe and being 6' tall I was glad to swap that part out.

I'm a bit biased but my RM and RMZ look damn good clean and simple.

Very very good looking bikes and I love simple and very clean look to the both of them.

Got damn right!!!! I was hoping these models would make a showing. I had the air cooled '81 and l loved that thing. Was considered slow especially compared to the '82 above but that rear suspension was just so confidence inspiring.

What is everyone’s opinion on the best looking RM?
I’m doing a rebuild on a 2001 125 and need some ideas on which way to go with graphics.
I’m leaning towards keeping it looking stock.
What’s your thoughts.?
For me it's the 97 MC Suzuki of troy bike or the Factory Suzuki bikes in 97

I wouldn't necessarily recommend this graphically but since we're talking about cool RMs....one of the rarest Suzuki RM250s ever made. In 06, Suzuki, of course, made the RC replica. But at the same time, overseas, they also made a super limited run of just 50 Paul Edmundson RM250 Replicas. These super limited bikes were not just a MX with lights but also, altered suspension and enduro tuned motor. Super rare bike made by Suzuki to commemorate enduro legend Fast Eddy!

I think the 96 factory bikes were the cleanest and best looking. I don’t want energy drinks or grinder companies on my shrouds..ECC bikes are brutal. Simple yellow and blue like the 1990s are just good Motocross colors.

Ron Ibon designed these graphics for Nstyle in 1997. They still stick on on my bike in 2019

Nick Wey and Sean Hamblin had bichin factory RMs in the early 2000s Maybe 2002-2004. Not sure. I'll trust one of you more skilled individuals to post a pic. If not I'll track one down when I get home tonight.

Hands down, Akira Narita's 2002 Factory RM250.















Interestingly enough his 2002 true factory works bike has the 04-08 style engine in it. The 01-02 production bikes had a different engine in them .....thats really cool to see.
